Man of My Word Songtext
von Collin Raye

I′m a man of my word,
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
that's just my way
When you′ve made a promise
to someone who's gone
Well that's when forever
seems a little too long

I′m a man of my word
and I made you a vow
I swore that I′d love you
and I can't change that now
They tell me I′m free
to find someone new
I just don't have the heart
′cause I gave mine to you


When I said my love
would last for all time
And no one would take your place
Well if that promise
was the last sound you heard
Well you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word

I′m a man of my word
and it's cost me so dear
'Cause those words are a prison
without you here
And I′ll go to my grave
with this torch held high
Bust just once I wish
I had told you a lie

When I said my love
would last for all time
And no one would take your place
Well if that promise
was the last sound you heard
Well you know I kept it,
I′m a man of my word

Yes I'll always love you,
I′m a man of my word
